The Earl of Domoch arrived in Scotland — reluctantly — to take up his duties as Chieftain of his Clan. Raised in England, blinded by a Fakir's curse in India, the handsome, embittered peer felt lost among strangers... until lovely Vara McDorn became his guide. Spirited and gentle, Vara became the Earl's eyes and heart, teaching him to see the timeless beauty of his Clan's ancient ways, while a rival plots against him. When Vara learns how the Earl lost his sight, she thinks she may be able to help. Yet even as a healer worked her cure, the pretender was hatching treachery — fated to be foiled by the resourceful lass. And in a joyous moment of truth, Vara and her Chieftain surrendered to the rare miracle of everlasting love....

This book is one of Dame Barbara's last ditch attempts to hold on to her fading glory of being the world's most famous writer. These books were accepted in the 30s and 40s as ooooh so romantic but by the 90s one had grown pretty tired of heroines who could read ancient languages,but couldn't string a sentence in English without taking 5 minutes between words.This...is...a...dream and the like. Very badly edited version so if you are reading this to improve your command over English,forgotten is not spelled" forgotton."No wonder Dame Barbara's yearly royalty for 40 million books published was around 1,800 pounds in the 90s.Would you buy a story with a heroine with a name made up of 1 vowel,and 2 consonants.Or some name like Zosina and her sister Helsa?How come none of her heroines were ever called Tortilla? This would be on par with names like Ola who decides to change it to Relola.Anyone sane heard names like Vava-yep BC idea of a Hungarian name- or Zoia?Zoya,yes but Zoi-a? And those macho heroes with names ending in _us. One could be easily named Platypus,the Duke of Bloomingdom.
